Abstract
"The hardware design of a model robot system for experimentation in microcomputer control is presented. A special interface board is designed to allow an Apple II Plus microcomputer to control a model robot system which consists of a three-jointed robot with an electromagnet end effector and a conveyor belt, with an optional vision system. A programmable pulse-width modulator is designed to drive the DC motors which operate the robot and conveyor belt. Improvements and additional uses for the model system are discussed"--Abstract, page ii.
